That indicates that inetd is unable to start the server (or the server
is immediately exiting, but that shouldn't happen).  The most likely
cause is an incorrect path name for CVS in /etc/inetd.conf.  You might
want to check your syslog for inetd error messages.  If you still can't
figure out the problem, you may want to run inetd in debugging mode (see
the man page for details).
